UNIT 1: Solving equations by inspection
Question 1 Solve the following one-step equations by inspection and then check by substitution.
a x + 2 = 5 b a + 3 = 7 c m – 4 = 8


d b + 1 = 7 e a + 2 = 10 f n + 5 = 12


g x – 2 = 4 h x + 3 = 9 i y + 8 = 14


j p – 3 = 7 k t – 2 = 8 l a–9=3


m y – 2 = –7 n x – 4 = –6 o 8 + x = 12

Question 2 Solve the following equations by inspection and then check by substitution.
a m + 1 = 9 b x + 2 = 12 c 3 + y = 15


d 9 + n = –3 e x – 4 = 7 f x – 2 = 16


g m + 5 = 9 h y – 3 = 18 i a+6=8


j m – 3 = 7 k n – 6 = 10 l a – 4 = 11


m y – 5 = –3 n t – 2 = –4 o 15 + a = 21
